I'll politely disagree. The 63 money may equal 24K today with inflation, but one cant just go pick up a brand new 1963 truck from their local dealer anymore. All orig, low mile survivors are increasingly rare these days. Calculating the value of rarity isn't so simple.
For instance, if you were to plug in the original cost of a pack of baseball cards from back in the day, inflation would show a value of just a few dollars in todays money. Tell that to those that are currently paying millions for a single rare card, gum not included. Lol!
